The command will not work on the indirect subfiles that are generated when a master file is split. If you have a large file (longer than 300,000 bytes or so), you need to run the <code>texinfo-format-buffer</code> or <code>makeinfo-buffer</code> command in such a way that it does not create indirect subfiles. You will also need to create a tag table for the Info file. After you have done this, you can run <code>Info-validate</code> and look for badly referenced nodes. </p> <p>The first step is to create an unsplit Info file. To prevent <code>texinfo-format-buffer</code> from splitting a Texinfo file into smaller Info files, give a prefix to the <kbd>M-x texinfo-format-buffer</kbd> command: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">C-u M-x texinfo-format-buffer </pre></div> <p>or else </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">C-u C-c C-e C-b </pre></div> <p>When you do this, Texinfo will not split the file and will not create a tag table for it. <span id="index-Making-a-tag-table-manually"></span> <span id="index-Tag-table_002c-making-manually"></span> </p> </div> </body> </html>
